[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Neither Faulkner or Wilson GRADUATED from UVA at any level. Once again, UVA has never had a graduate win a Nobel Prize.  Just give it up already.  [/quote]

Faulkner never studied at UVA for a single day.  [/quote]

No, he just taught there . https://faulkner.lib.virginia.edu/[/quote]

Stop misleading people delusional booster. From the article: "Here you can listen in on William Faulkner’s sessions with audiences at the University of Virginia in 1957 and 1958, during his two terms as UVA’s first [b]Writer-in-Residence[/b]."

Faulkner was a 'writer in residence' for 2 years - he did not teach at UVA.

That could be the reason that UNC overtook UVA to be the #4 top public.  
If you want to count people such as 'writer in residences, fellows, visiting scholars, visiting researchers etc. etc., UNC has dozens.[/quote][/quote]

[b]That could be the reason that UNC overtook UVA to be the #4 top public.[/quote][/b]

No, as you well know, that is all Pell grant and social mobility driven.  Virginia has a wealthier base than N Carolina ergo there is no way on earth UVA can compete on the Pell grant front, just as it can't with California.  If you aren't aware, a university has no idea whether or not an applicant is Pell grant eligible when they accept them. That comes after the fact.  So long as USNWR rewards no of Pell grants, it will continue to reward states with disproportionately poor demographics.  Everyone knows this.[/quote]
